Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for liberation by ALF

Taking responsibility for liberation
by ALF

While others exchange recipes, we wear hoods.

In the early hours of Sunday 3/3/23 we invaded the ‘game farms’ of Vassiliadis and Kavouras in Megara (city near Athens). In the first we took down the wild boar fence and in the second we opened the doors of the deer cage.

We deny the role of ‘liberator’ and consider that we have simply done our minimal duty as solidarity towards these captive beings: We have given them a chance to live.
Good luck to all of them and bad luck to those who think of them as food.
Words are nothing, actions are everything and only by them are we judged.

Until next time…

Butcher shop sabotaged 8th March, by some anarchists (Portland, USA)

Butcher shop sabotaged

Last night we cut off the tiny padlock to the breaker box of a butcher shop “pasture pdx” and shut off their power to make the flesh they butchered unsellable. we also sealed the lock on the door with spray foam insulation. We also shut power to two adjacent stores because it was fun. These things are easily reproduceable and we encourage anarchists to think outside of the box. you can do other things then smash windows.

we dedicate this act to Jack, the Susaron 4 comrades in chile, and all antispeciesists who have been put in cages.

for total freedom!

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) France : rail traffic sabotage against the A69

Sabotage of the Toulouse-Narbonne railroad against the A69

Indymedia Lille, February 29, 2024

In support of opponents of the A69, we sabotaged the Toulouse-Narbonne railway line on the night of February 28-29.

The SNCF is following the lead of the neoliberal state, increasingly abandoning the freight system in favor of roads. The aim is always the same: to make money flow into the coffers of private companies (private carriers, private builders and managers). The song is old by now, only the pace has changed a little, and accelerated in recent years. Widespread social misery is just one of the consequences of this song, while the devastation of our land in the name of profit is another.

We’d like to salute the rebels who, in these winter months on the crèm-arbre zad, have tried to resist the steamroller of a mafia-like and childish system with determination. We can only imagine that the few nights spent in these cabins must have been cold and damp. That’s why we’ve tried to pass on a little warmth.

(Chile) Against Patriarchy, in Pursuit of the Foundations of Anarchy’s Paths of Negation

By Mónica Caballero

March 5, 2024 / informativoanarquista

From La Zarzamora [https://lazarzamora.cl/?p=12114]

The economic system that currently governs the territory dominated by the chilean State and practically all western States is capitalism. Capitalism, in simple terms, was founded in commerce and industry (means of production) which are organized and controlled by its owners, meaning: businessmen.

For capitalism to take root and endure over time as a political economic system, it needed a patriarchal social structure, understood as the social organization where the authority of men is exercised from the family, and reaching through all practices of domination. For this reason, it would be difficult to pose a radical, emancipator change without ending up totally destroying capitalism and patriarchy. Oppressive, authoritarian patriarchal structures have (mal)formed practically all the relations that we have with others and ourselves.

Berlin (Germany): sabotage of a high-voltage pylon brings Tesla factory to a standstill

[At around 5 a.m. on Monday night, March 5, the Volcano group (Vulkangruppe) set fire to a high-voltage pylon near Steinfurt, a district of the village of Gosen-Neu Zittau in Berlin’s south-eastern suburbs, deliberately cutting off power to Tesla’s “Gigafactory”, located some ten kilometers away. The European factory of Elon Musk’s company, inaugurated in 2022 in Berlin-Grünheide, spits out 6,000 electric SUVs a week, the Model Y, hoping to double its capacity to 1 million units a year.

The plant’s 12,500 employees had to be sent home or told to stay there until production could resume. The Tesla Group is already estimating its economic damage at several hundred million dollars, with an assessment that each day without power or production at its Berlin plant is costing it 50 to 60 million euros. Finally, the General Manager of the Berlin plant, André Thierig, estimates that production will not be able to resume until next week at the earliest, after consulting the electricity grid operator… Here is the translation of the Volcano Group communique published on indymedia germany the same day].


Volcano group switches Tesla off! : Attack on the power supply near Steinfurt

Today, we sabotaged Tesla. Because in Grünau, Tesla devours land, resources, people and labor to spit out 6,000 SUVs – killing machines and “monster trucks” – a week. Our gift for March 8th is to switch Tesla off.

Because the complete destruction of the Gigafactory, and with it, the demise of “techno-fascists” like Elend1 Musk, is a step on the road to liberation from patriarchy. Continue reading Berlin (Germany): sabotage of a high-voltage pylon brings Tesla factory to a standstill

  1. Elend Musk is a pun on his real first name, Elon: elend here means pitiful/miserable.

[Italy] We won’t be complicit. We will be deserters (Spoleto, March 2024)

Responding to a parliamentary question, War Minister Guido Crosetto confirmed that the factory of Terrestrial Military Ammunition (SMMT) in Baiano di Spoleto could soon produce the new missiles and ammunition to be sent to Ukraine to support the ongoing war. The Defense Industries Agency (AID) indeed proposed three of its production sites –Spoleto, Capua and Fontana Liri – for the European Union’s tender, which provides a grant of 500 million euros to produce new armaments to be sent to Kiev.

Although it is still only a candidacy, the deal is given as very likely by the local newspapers, also by virtue of the fact that the Spoleto plant would be underutilized with respect to its “productive” (but perhaps we should say destructive) capacities.

South London,UK : Springtime of Revolt, Death to the State! Two days of subversive memory and celebration on the anniversary of the Paris Commune

Black Threads #6 – Louise Michel and Irreperable Action

Following on from the Black Threads discussion series, we are again drawing on the heritage of anarchism to illuminate elements of the struggle for freedom today. On this occasion we would like to discuss, not a specific text, but rather, around the anniversary, an insurrectional moment: those spring days in 1871.

Remembered as much by comrades in the past because of the massacres with which the state and its servants punished the rebellion, as for its acts and perspectives of freedom, today we think it is important to consider the Commune as an insurgent utopia, propulsive for comrades who shared its historical epoch, but very distant from us in both qualitative and quantitive terms.

New Sabotage Against Northvolt – No Capitalist is Safe (Canada)

New Sabotage Against Northvolt – No Capitalist is Safe

This week marked the return of migratory birds to the Montérégie region and the start of nesting season for several species. The Northvolt worksite is now racing against the clock to fill in as many wetlands as possible by March 10, before being prevented from doing so by federal regulations protecting migratory birds. While deforestation work has been completed on the Saint-Basile-le-Grand side (8700 trees cut down), similar work is now underway in the eastern part of the land owned by McMasterville. This section contains the last remaining intact woodland, perhaps preserved from felling by the repeated spiking that took place there.

To stop the destruction of natural habitats, activists have targeted the Michaudville group’s Mont-St-Hilaire quarry, which to date has been responsible for filling in over ten hectares of marshland essential to the survival of vulnerable species such as the least bittern, the spiny softshell turtle and the eastern red bat. As a result of land artificialisation and urban sprawl, only 5% of wetlands remain in the watershed today. Not only will this industrial project do nothing to decarbonize our economy (as our ministers claim), it will also be carried out at the expense of local biodiversity. Let’s not forget that the ecological crisis is not just a climate crisis, but also an equally threatening biodiversity crisis. It’s thanks to our relationships with other species that we live, eat and breathe. We are entirely dependent on these ecosystems.

HONOR for Ever to anarchist fighter and member of R.S. Lambros Foundas. (Greece)

No matter how many years pass, the comrade Lambros, is a bright example for the continuation of the struggle and the revolutionary perspective. The 10th of March has been indelibly written in the history of internal as well as international revolutionary and class struggle. His life, action and death are – for the anarchist/anti-authoritarian and the more broadly anti-capitalist space – a precious legacy that inspires old and new generations of comrades alike. Lambros is one of us, he is always in our heart and in our actions.

HONOUR FOREVER TO THE ANARCHIST COMRADE LAMBROS FOUNTAS

EN/IT/ Updates for Brenner trial in Italy

Yesterday (7 March), the Court of Cassation issued its verdict for the second part (devastation and looting) of the Brenner trial.

The Supreme Court considered the statute of limitations for the crimes of aggravated personal injury aggravated, private violence, interruption of a public service and damage. The charges that therefore remain standing are aggravated theft and aggravated resistance.
Those who were sentenced to one year for the sole offence of resistance with suspended sentence have had their appeals rejected, so the convictions will now become definitive for seven people.

An appeal hearing will be scheduled to recalculate the sentences in view of the statute of limitations for most of the charges. The sentences will therefore be significantly reduced and according to calculations made by some comrades, they will not be more than three years for anyone. Therefore, no one will risk immediate arrest.
